Our Direct Delivery local wholesale foliage service distributes plants to your business weekly on our route trucks. A minimum order of $500 is required to qualify for free delivery, otherwise a 10% delivery fee is applied to the invoice. Call us to see if you are in our current delivery service area.

Direct Order

Foliage purchased through our Direct Order Broker service is FOB Florida/California. LTL or less than truckload shipping runs allow us the freedom to consolidate and transport small quantities directly from the grower to you.

Most common carriers out of Florida require a 100 cubic foot minimum. Carriers will designate between deckable items (<50” tall) and non-deckable items (>50” tall). To give you a perspective on 100 cubic feet of truck space, use these estimated equivalents:

6" Material, boxed	20 boxes or 240 plants
8" Material, boxed	20 boxes or 120 plants
10" Material, sleeved (<50")	50-55 plants
12" Material, sleeved (<50")	45 plants
12" Material, sleeved (>50")	30 plants
14" Material, sleeved (<100")	20 plants
17" Material, sleeved (>100")	10 plants

A 53' Semi will hold 2,968 cubic feet or 55 cubes per lineal foot. Average shipping costs per lineal foot is around $80-$100 depending on your location.
